THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE.-Tho
first of the international races for the pos
session of the America cup will be sailed In
New York waters tomorrow. The con-
testants are the Scotch sloop Thistle and the
American sloop Volunteer. All that inge
nuity and experience can do has been done
on both sides to prepare the vessels for tho
races, and they are so evenly matched that
no one may predict the issue absolutely.
The dmensions of the yachts are as fol
lows:
Thistle-Length over all, 10S feet
inches; length on water line, Sc feet 5
inches breadth of beam, 20 feet inches f;
depth of hold, II feet.
Voluuteer-Length over all, LOG feet
inches; length on water line, Sc feet !;
breadth of beam, % feet depth of hold, 10
feet 9 inches.
From the above it may be seen that the
Thistle is heavier, longer and deeper than
the Volunteer.

A Grim Subject,
From the London Lancet.

i rom the London Lancet.
If those are to be believed who, hay.
ing been more or less hanged, have
been resuscitated and have narrated
their experiences, the much-commiser-
ated victim osthe laws extreme pen
atty is not wholly miserable. 1t would
seem that death "sus. per coll" has
it's ameliorating condition of circum-
stances. One sufferer in the religious
cause in France is said to have "com.
planned" because he was called back
to consciousness from an experience
OF surprising delights, in which he en-
loyed the pleasure OF gazing upon the
most beautiful scenery. The mmedi-
ate sensation OF pain is momentary;
and it would appear not unlikely
that, III III anxiety for the avoid
ance of needless annoyance of those
we put to death iudiciailv, we may be
actually increasing their sutferinrs
and diminishing their pleasure.
The instantaneous deaths have all
the pain and little or none OF the
pleasure. Slowly induced congestion
OF the brain may be the least painful.
and if only the blood pressure be eff,
fectually raised at tfecenter that sees,
the beautiful light and charming seen
cry are enjoyed in the highest perfec-
ton. The subject is a grim one, and
W are not quite sure that the new
view of hanging experience tends to
make the death penalty increasingly
deterrent; but it is right that both
sides Of a question which the late
Mr.. Whalley once excited the mer-
riment OF the house Of commons by
describing as "a poor man'squestion"
should be carefully considered at all
costs.

Vaccination is now occupying a
great part of the time of phi, sicians
who have charge of families One Of
the It asons Why vaccination is SO gen
eral here is that children who have moi
been vaccinated are not received into
the public schools, and another reason
is that the insurance companies nov
make successful vaccination in indls
pensable requirement in examining APP
plicants for insurance. l am often
asked by parents when their children
are old enough to be yaccinated and !
always advise them not to have it doIe
until the child is at least a year old. II
done before the age the operation is
likely to result in serious disturbance
of the child's health on account of the
very delicate organism Of the infant.
AS we'll recognized a p even,ion OF dis.
sease as vaccination has become, there
are still many people who bitterly OPP
pose it, and l know a number of these
personally who are in other respects
very sensible. One of them is a news
paper editor of this city, who firmly
believes he had scrotula vaccinated
into him when he was a child. In
Europe the opponents vaccination have
gone so far as &C form anti vaccination
societies, with the end of discouraging
the practice; but prejudice has not yet
got 80 far as that in the United States.

son since you went away, and it Is
that the blame should not have rested

son since you went away, and it Is
that the blame should not have rested
on one alone. 1t should have been
divided equally, leaving me to bear
half of it and my wife the other half.
Where we erred was in dividing up
the blame on the basis of tenderloin
steak OF peach cobbler, compelling
you to bear half of it yourself. That
will not work, Wilhelmina. Blame
and preserves do not divide up on the
same basis. We are now in favor of
what may be called a sliding scale.
We think you will like this better.
We also made a grave mistake in
the matter of nights out. While
young, l formed the wicked and per-
nicious habit of having nights out my
self. l painted for the night air, and
would go a long distance and stay out
a long time to get enough of it for a
mess and then bring it home in q
paper bag, but J. can see now that it is
time for me to remain indoors and
give young people like yourself a
chance, Wilhelmina.
So if can do anything evenings
while you are out that will assist you,
such as stoning raisins or neighbor-
ing windows. command me. lam no
cook, of course, but l can peel apples,
or grind coffee, or hold your head for
you when you need sympa by. l could
also soon learn to do the plain cooking,
| think, and friends who come to see
us after this have agreed to bring their
dinners.
There Is no reason why harmony
should not be restored among us and
the old sunlight come back to our roof
tree.
Another thing I wish to write before
| close this Illuminating personal. l
wish to take back my harsh and bitter
words about your singing. l said that
you sang like a shingle mill, but | was
mad when | said it, and l wronged
you. | was maddened by hunger and
YOU told me that mush and milk was
the proper thing for a brain worker,
and you refused to give me any dope
on my %dumpling. Goaded TO madness
bv this | said that you sang like a
shingle mill, but 1t was not my better,
higher nature that spoke. 1t was my
grosser and more gastric nature that
asserted itself and ! now desire to take
it back. You do not sing like a Single
mill; at least so much as to mislead a
pract ced ear.
Your voice has more volume, and
when your upper register is closed is
mellower than any shingle-mill | ever
heard,
Come back. Wilhemlna. We need
you every hour.
After you went away we tried to set
the bread as we had seen you do it,
but it asnot a success The next day
it came off the nest with a litter of
small, sallow rolls which would easily
resist the act on of acids.
f, If you cannot come back, will you
please write and tell me how you are
getting along and how you contrive to
insert air-holes into homemade bread9
